DFD (I will assume Detroit, MI) ran this Seagrave 85' midship ladder. Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I dont think this is a Detroit rig. DFD had 'Detroit Fire Department' on all thier rigs. Also, they purchased only 65' junior aerials from Seagrave, all had booster reels on the officers side

Possibly Duluth Minnesota?

Scott,



Bob-Lo Island is located on the Detroit River between Amhurstburg, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. An amusement park was located on this island and it was serviced by ferries from both countries. The amusement park closed down several years ago. I believe the island was to be redeveloped for residential use. Not sure if that ever happened. As for the pictured apparatus, sorry I can't help.
